The Internet offers the most amazing resources for anything, if you know where and how to look. Origami diagrams, videos, and ebooks are available free. You can see photos of unbelievable origami art in hundreds of online galleries.

To find thousands of video tutorials on YouTube, use its search. Just the word Origami will get you more than you will know what to do with. To narrow the search, add words like bird, box, bowl, ornament (always preceded by origami). My Youtube handle is Matera313. I have only started making origami videos. Mine are not basic tutorials, but demonstrate interesting variations that I have discovered while “oridoodling.”

I am putting links to some of my favorite origami sites on this page. Have fun!
